FS: Carvin LB75P, Mahogany Body, BE Maple FB

[JackANSI]

Putting up my LB75P for sale to a good home. Currently has flats on it. Sounds just wonderful. It is used, but not abused.

The LB75P has the Piezo bridge and 18v active 3-band EQ, pull the volume knob out and you're in passive mode. Controls are (as if you have the bass on): starting closest to you and the neck, top row: Vol, pickup blend, mag/piezo blend. Bottom row: Coil tap switch for the MM-HB (for a very nice Jazz bass sound), stacked bass (ring) - treble (middle), stacked mid freqency sweep (ring) - mid level (middle).

5 piece neck-through. Neck is mahogany, maple, koa, maple, mahogany with a beautiful birds-eye maple fretboard. Body wings are mahogany.

Balance is great, really nice and low action. Was only ever set up professionally by a well respected local luthier.

With Carvin hard case, original strings (hardly used, not on the bass, currently strung with flats), levi's wide strap and straplocks. $750 shipped.

I recently acquired one of these. Very versatile. What flats are you using on yours?

D'Addario Chromes ECB81-5. They seem to match up prefectly with the Carvin. Takes about 2-3 weeks of playing to get them sounding perfect, they are a tad bright (for flats) out of the package.

Thanks for the info. I've used Chromes before, and am going to try them on my bass.

Price reduced for the next week.

The Chromes are indeed a good fit for mine. They enhance the tone, more robust. Thanks for the tip!

[JackANSI]

Glad you like the chromes too. They are really night and day from rounds, you get that meaty low-mid boost that just really makes the tone fit as a real foundation for the rest of the band.

What is the approximate age of this bass?

Sold.
